News 5th April 2009
By danlucraft | April 5, 2009
- I have pushed out release 0.1 of Redcar. Get it here.
- Redcar has some new developers. Mark Wilkinson is responsible for the SaveAll command that is now in the File menu and Cairo Noleto has made some useful changes. Thank you to Daniel Gaiottino for filing loads of bugs too. It’s nice not to be doing this on my own anymore!
- There is now a place for documentation and API documentation.
- Keybindings are still all over the place, so expect more changes in the near future, particularly with regard to Ctrl and Super.
- All Source, Text and Ruby bundle commands now work. Bundles next on the hitlist are Rails, RSpec and Cucumber.
- There are now viewable regression tests for the GtkMateView highlighter that compare HTML generated by Redcar with HTML generated by Textmate. Not amazingly useful but fun to look at.
Here is a screenshot of the fuzzy file finder:

Congratulations on this release.
I’ve just installed it on Fedora. Alas, I had no such luck on x86_64, but the i386 runs just fine.
It’s also worth mentioning, that I had to install some extra dependencies such as gtkmozembed and ruby-gconf2.

Thanks Dan, I’ll get on fixing that.

Marano: Thanks, that would be very helpful.

Nicely done!
Keep up the good work, and don’t let yourself be bothered by the peeps who just want a windows version. It’s open source!, let them fix it their self

I was not going to afflict it.
Ubuntu is installed in the beginning, and Redcar is tried.
It is happy.
Even I try the porting to Windows.
Thank you.

Hi,
I’m using ubuntu 9.04 beta and I installed all dependencies but when I run the instructions return me the errors:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/dbus/bus.rb:581:in `parse_session_string’: private method `split’ called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/dbus/bus.rb:192:in `connect’

@Marc maybe ask in the mailing list.
re: windows — you can try in cygwin…but you may need to install some ‘old’ versions of the dependencies’ source code so that it works with cygwin available packages as much as possible (which packages are at times outdated).

I have the same DBUS problem as Marc has.
April 17th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
There is some kind of issue with ruby-dbus on Jaunty. In the meantime, please start Redcar with the –multiple-instance flag.
April 18th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Hi Daniel, thanks for your patience!
But the same error continues.
Are you any idea?
Thanks.
April 20th, 2009 at 7:58 am
Marc, please ask on the mailing list with the exact command you are using to start Redcar and I’ll try and help.

Thank you for your work! Looking forward to 1.0 and an installable deb file!

Very interesting. I’ll try it out for a while.

The E TextEditor (www.e-texteditor.com) is now released as open source, perhaps you could find some useful code there…
May 13th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
I’ve just installed this on my ubuntu 9.04 laptop with no problems at all, and it looks awesome. Keep up the good work!
May 18th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
ottimo lavoro!!! good work
May 22nd, 2009 at 6:32 am
No more news? No debs? Is the project stalled? Hope not - I am really looking forward to it.
May 26th, 2009 at 1:39 am
@Alexei I see commits on github almost daily, hardly stalled; just nothing interesting to present.
May 26th, 2009 at 10:43 am
I failed to compile in Ubuntu - would love if a deb got presented.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I had problems on Fedora so I put together a short tutorial.
